The problem is in org.apache.ivy.core.cache.DefaultRepositoryCacheManager.
This class use a third pattern for properties file, defined with a constant:
DEFAULT_DATA_FILE_PATTERN
You can change the value of this pattern programmatically with
setDataFilePattern, but we have no support for changing it from the
settings.
Maybe the best solution would be to replace Ivy cache pattern:
[organisation]/[module]/ivy-[revision].xml
by:
[organisation]/[module]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]
And then use the same pattern for properties and ivy file, with different
values for [artifact] and [ext]. The problem is that it would break with
people who change the ivy pattern with hardcoded artifact name and
extension.
But since we are changing the cache management deeply in Ivy 2, I don't see
this as a big issue if we document it properly. We could even test such a
case and add a .properties suffix in that case, to make such settings work
with a warning.
Could you please open an issue in JIRA about that?
